Wideband antenna

Abstract

A wideband antenna includes a grounding unit electrically connected to a ground, a feed-in source for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals, a first radiating body including a first radiating unit extending along a first direction, a second radiating unit extending along a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a conducting unit extending along a third direction, and a second radiating body including a short-circuit unit electrically connected to the grounding unit, a third radiating unit including a branch to generate a coupling connection effect with the conducting unit via a first distance, wherein an average perpendicular distance between the second radiating body and the grounding unit is smaller than an average perpendicular distance between the first radiating body and the grounding unit.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119 from TAIWAN 101104315 filed Feb. 10, 2012, the contents of which are incorporated herein by references.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a wideband antenna, and more particularly, to a wideband antenna which utilizes a vertical coupling connection effect.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]An electronic product with a wireless communication function, e.g. a laptop, a personal digital assistant, etc., utilizes an antenna to emit or receive radio waves, to transmit or exchange radio signals, so as to access a wireless network. Therefore, to facilitate a user's access to the wireless communication network, an ideal antenna should maximize its bandwidth within a permitted range, while minimizing physical dimensions to accommodate the trend for smaller-sized electronic products.[0006]In the prior art, e.g. publication number I318022 of Taiwa...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a wideband antenna that uses a vertical coupling connection effect. It includes a grounding unit, a feed-in source, a first radiating body, a second radiating body, and a conducting unit. Another version of the invention includes a second radiating body with a short-circuit unit, a third radiating body, and a branch that generates a coupling connection effect with the conducting unit. The goal is to provide a wideband antenna that has improved performance and more efficient signal transmission and reception.

Problems solved by technology

However, with the advance of wireless communication technology, a wider operational band of the wireless communication system is anticipated, and the multi-band antenna 10 thus fails to satisfy different users' requirements.

Therefore, it has become an important issue to provide an antenna which can effectively extend the transmitting band as well as minimize the physical dimension of the antenna.
